I kind of freaked myself out and with good ol Dr. Google. I haven't taken off my toenail polish is quite awhile And when I did a few weeks ago I noticed that my toenail was discolored on the one side. So the other night I looked it up on Google to see if it was some kind of toenail fungus and Google kept on telling me it was melanoma(also learned a lot about Bob marley). So then I got a bit crazy and scraped my nail plate off. The nail bed was not discolored...does this mean it's not melanoma??? Thank you in advance for taking the time to deal with my paranoia

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

What Customers are Saying:

I feel so much better today, and upon further investigation believe that there is a chance that the responses I got saved me from a serious, even life threatening situation. I am very grateful to the experts who answered me.

I can go as far as to say it could have resulted in saving my sons life and our entire family now knows what bipolar is and how to assist and understand my most wonderful son, brother and friend to all who loves him dearly.
Thank you very much

I thank-you so much! It really helped to have this information and
confirmation. We will watch her carefully and get her in for the
examination and US right away if things do not improve. God bless you as
well!

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.
